When I was involved in SLA they initiated a community structure. They were not heavily used until people could get messages forwarded or get a notice that a message was available to read. People will not login everyday, as they might for a system at their employers. The messages forwarded or message reminders to another email address pulled people back in for increased usage. I personally thought this was the biggest weakness in the current system, especially when some committees only experience heavy use near the conferences. The group leader can send every one a community message that is forwarded (by personal choice) to their personal email account and work can get started.
